A Blio Update

October 18th 2011

A new update of K-NFB's Blio for iOS [app store link], which uses our libEucalyptus, was released today. If you're not aware of Blio, I wrote a bit about it when the iOS app first came out a few months ago.

Eucalyptus V1.2.1

November 18th 2009

Eucalyptus v1.2.1 is now available via the App Store. As the tacked-on '.1' suggests, it's just a few bug fixes and small enhancements - but we still heartiy recommend updating. Things you might notice are:

  • A fix for an occasional (but very annoying when it did happen - sorry!) crash when using "Send Feedback". This is the feature that's accessible via the Eucalyptus leaf icon in the bottom left of book view. You can now send feedback (or Reader Pick suggestions) via here without fear of it not getting through.
  • More reliable fast saving and restore of the ...
